Devon and Cornwall Police are asking for the public’s help to find 47-year-old Thomas Smith in Torquay, Devon, following a reported stalking offence on February 16, 2026. Officers are treating the search as a high priority and want to hear from anyone who knows where he is.
Smith is described as white, around 5ft 9ins tall, and of slim build. He has short brown hair and a dark beard.
The public is strictly advised not to approach Smith if he is spotted in the community. Instead, anyone with information or sightings should call 999 immediately and quote the crime reference number 50260019134.
This appeal is part of a larger plan by the Torquay Neighbourhood Policing Team to make the town safer. Their current work focuses on tackling violence against women and girls and increasing police presence in local areas.
